List_Radial: Convert unformatted .RAD file (radial components) to readable text

This program transforms the binary data structure of the .RAD files to readable ASCII text. Besides the radial components of the current field, the binary data structure contains statistical parameters and weighting values, which are later in the processing chain be used by 'rad2uv' to better support averaging from a polar grid to the Cartesian grid defined by 'Make_Grid'. These are converted to readable information, omitting e.g. the weighting values. If the complete data structure is needed in ASCII form, please use 'Radial2ACSII', which supports a one-to-one transformation between binary and ASCII.

The following box shows a typical output generated by List_Radial: 

wera@ifmpc143:~/Fortran > List_Radial /home/wera/data/examples/20003341405_PEN.RAD
 Read:  /home/wera/data/examples/20003341405_PEN.RAD
 Write: /home/wera/data/examples/20003341405_PEN.RAD_lst

The program accepts data from

  1. 'wera16_spec_rad' (radials on a Cartesian grid, data format) and
  2. 'wera4_dir' (radials on a polar grid, data format).
  3. 'wera16_beam' (beam formed radials on a polar grid, data format).
Look here to find out how accuracy and variance of the radial current vectors are calculated. 

Linux:
------

Source is in List_Radial.F
Compilation and linking with '. do_list_radial.sh'

Call with
> List_Radial <path_to_.RAD_file>
e.g.
> List_Radial /home/wera/data/TEST/20003341355_TOR.RAD

Program creates /home/wera/data/TEST/20003341355_TOR.RAD_lst


VMS:
----

Source is in List_Radial.F
Compilation and linking with '@List_Radial'

Program needs to be defined as an external command to take parameters
from the command line, e.g.
$ List_Radial :== $$USER1:[WERA.Fortran]List_Radial.EXE

Call with
$ List_Radial 
e.g.
$ List_Radial $DATA2:[GURGEL.GIJON.TOR_RAD]20003341355_TOR.RAD

Program creates $DATA2:[GURGEL.GIJON.TOR_RAD]20003341355_TOR.RAD_lst
